By accessing, browsing, or scheduling vehicle services on this website, you agree to comply with and be bound by the following Terms and Conditions of use. These terms incorporate the exact legal disclosures, liabilities, and warranty limitations established on our physical invoice contracts.

If you disagree with any part of these terms, please do not use our website or online booking features.

1. REPAIR GUARANTEE & WARRANTY DISCLAIMER

  • Our Service Guarantee: Unless otherwise explicitly stated in writing, all vehicle repairs performed by our facility are guaranteed for ninety (90) days or 4,000 miles, whichever occurs first. This guarantee will only be honored if the vehicle is returned directly to this repair facility for the necessary guarantee work.
  • Product & Parts Warranties: Any warranties on the products, components, or parts sold hereby are strictly those made by the manufacturer. The Repair Garage expressly disclaims all warranties, either express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.
  • Limitation of Recoverable Damages: The Repair Garage neither assumes nor authorizes any other person to assume for it any liability in connection with the sale of said products. The buyer/customer shall not be entitled to recover from the seller any consequential damages, damages to property, damage for loss of time, loss of profit or income, or any other incidental damages.

2. VEHICLE STORAGE & PAYMENT TERMS

  • Payment Due Date: All charges for repairs—including labor, diagnostic procedures, and materials furnished—are due and payable upon delivery of the vehicle, or prior to delivery upon the expiration of three (3) days after notice that the repairs have been completed.
  • Completion Notification: Notice of service completion shall be deemed to have been officially given upon the deposit in the United States mail, postage prepaid, of written notification to that effect addressed to the customer at the address provided to our shop.
  • Per Diem Storage Charges: If the vehicle described herein is not called for or picked up within three (3) working days after notification of completion is given, a per diem storage charge at our then-current standard daily shop rate will be made for each day thereafter.
  • Interest on Overdue Accounts: Interest will be charged at the highest rate allowed by law on all overdue account balances.

3. LIABILITY LIMITATIONS & COMPONENT HANDLING

  • No Insurance Transfer for Loss: The customer is hereby notified that neither their vehicle nor its contents are insured or protected to the amount of the actual cash value thereof, or otherwise, against loss occasioned by theft, fire, or vandalism while the property remains with the Repair Garage.
  • Personal Property Disclaimer: The Repair Garage is not responsible for items of personal property left inside the vehicle.
  • Parts Delays: The Repair Garage is not responsible for the unavailability of parts or shipping delays from third-party suppliers.
  • Sublet Repairs: The customer hereby grants the Repair Garage express permission to sublet specialized vehicle repair work if necessary to complete the authorized service order.
  • Receipt Authority: The Repair Garage is authorized to deliver the vehicle described in the work order, or any of its internal contents, to any individual presenting the service receipt.
  • Disposal of Removed Parts: ALL PARTS REMOVED from the customer’s vehicle during service will be permanently disposed of unless the Repair Garage is formally notified otherwise by the customer PRIOR to the start of repairs.

4. MECHANIC’S LIENS & LEGAL REMEDIES

  • Authorization of Lien: In addition to any and all other legal remedies available, the customer authorizes the Repair Garage to place a legal lien on the vehicle for all charges incurred for repairs (including labor and parts), vehicle storage, and/or towing.
  • Enforcement via Public Auction: To enforce such lien, the Repair Garage is expressly authorized to sell said vehicle at a public auction after giving a twenty (20) day written notice by certified mail to the legal owner, registered owner, and the Department of Motor Vehicles of our intent to do so. On the scheduled sale date, the vehicle shall be sold to the highest cash bidder.
  • Allocation of Auction Proceeds: Auction proceeds must be used first to satisfy the outstanding lien plus accrued storage costs and costs incident to the sale. The remaining balance shall be forwarded to the legal owner, or if none, to the registered owner. If the address is unknown, the balance will be forwarded directly to the Department of Motor Vehicles. Expenses for the sale shall also include reasonable attorney’s fees that may be necessarily incurred.
  • Attorney’s Collection Fees: If any service charges remain unpaid for thirty (30) days after a request for payment has been issued, the Repair Garage may refer such charges to its attorney for collection, and the customer agrees to pay a reasonable attorney’s fee incurred during collection efforts.

5. GOVERNING LAW

These Terms and Conditions and all operations are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida. Any legal actions or disputes arising from web bookings or mechanical service orders shall be resolved in the appropriate courts of St. Lucie County, Florida.
